Compact Skin

Compact skin for Steam is a simple but sleek skin that transforms your default client skin in to a dark, stealthy client that allows important information along with buttons to stand out boldly. The minimalist skin uses a very simple color scheme of a smooth block along with a strong bright white which strikes the eye when looking over the skin. This simple transition of colors looks brilliant, and this skin also allows players with lower-end computers to try out Steam skin alternation as there are aren’t any complex colors or layers to render within the Steam client. Any graphics that are too complex have been removed, leaving the most minimal, basic skin that still looks pleasant to the eye. The developer, seq, has clearly made a wonderful job of designing and creating the Steam Compact skin which is a great skin to replace the bland, default Steam skin.
